My thoughts on Mars: 1.) Mars should make us all very very thankful for all those wonderful greenhouse gasses that give us our thick beautiful life sustaining atmosphere that liberals are always trying to get rid of. 2.) It would be awesome if we could redirect a giant watery comet into a Martian ice cap 3.) Martian soil is allegedly comprised of vast amounts of highly reactive superoxides (vast quantities of Oxygen IOW) and superoxides are known to release oxygen in the presence of H2O as in the case of potassium superoxide found on submarines and in certain oxygen tanks.
My thought on Mars. Does it have Oil. ;-) If it does....
The atmosphere of Mars is 97% carbon dioxide - which is a so-called greenhouse gas. So even if it has only 1/100th the atmospheric pressure, there is still - in absolute terms - far more carbon dioxide there to trap heat than in Earth's atmosphere.
